The Nutcracker and the Mouse King
Directed by Joshua Goldberg.
It’s Christmas Eve, and Marie Stahlbaum can hardly contain her excitement… her Godfather Drosselmeyer is on his way with dazzling trinkets and toys in tow! But this year it’s the simplest gift, a Nutcracker, that catches Marie’s eye and sets her off on a holiday adventure beyond her wildest sugar plum dreams.
With the spiteful Mouse King out for revenge, will Marie be able to break the Crackatook Curse and discover the secrets of the Nutcracker?
Though similar in story to the classic ballet, this brand-new adaptation brings E. T. A. Hoffman’s original fairy tale to life with a healthy helping of holiday magic!

Audience Advisories
Theatre can stir joy, reflection, sorrow, discomfort, and everything in between. That is part of its power: it asks us to engage with unfamiliar and complicated experiences.
While we do not provide warnings for every challenging theme or emotion our productions may explore, we identify certain potentially distressing content and sensory effects.
